I have never made home made marzipan before, but as i was making a Battenburg cake i wanted to make the marzipan by hand to, well i say i and your start to think if you have read my cooking pages that i do nothing in the kitchen now and your be right. After tasting the marzipan i thought it was so much nicer than shop bought and i will make this for the Christmas cake now especially as there is only 3 steps to make marzipan.
Ingredients
200g Ground almonds
100g Icing sugar
100g Caster sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp lemon juice
Almond extract
Put all the dry ingredients together and mix
Add lemon juice, almond extract to eggs and lightly whisk
Add the wet and dry mix with a spoon until pulled together then need till smooth, so easy a 2 year old could do this.
Awesome to see your helper. I make marzipan with cashew--my kiddo likes the taste better. Here is a link to some fun flowers you can make with it...
